If I used this to attach a pergola to a rooftop(windy) deck would you expect this to be strong enough?

I don't see why they wouldn't work. The plastic is ridged and there area connection points that there shouldn't be any torque that would make them break. But, our application is indoors and out of the weather. Also, don't they make aluminum connectors for the roof?

I am by no means an expert on this subject, but I would feel pretty comfortable using it in this manner.

No, I would not risk it. The screws in the bottom would stay intact but the sweeping upper would likely get brittle when frozen and may also weaken from the sun's UV rays. A strong wind gust could cause a catastrophic failure.

Flange is sturdy but I personally wouldn't use for anything higher than deck railing height. I would use metal/steel for Pergola vs. plastic.

I've uses several of these supports on my deck. They are very sturdy and I trust they will last many years regardless of weather conditions. I will certainly use them again for another project.
1905
I don't know, i would think that it would work as long as its not hurricane winds

The support flange itself is sturdy, you have to make sure it is screwed into the joists. Don't just screw it into your decking. I had to add in some cross bracing to make sure there was something to attach them to. Also brace between the posts with railings They are holding up a roof on my porch.

I wouldn't doubt it. Load it balanced and should be fine. Even the extended arms are pretty sturdy. Add a clothes line on a tree and you're golden.

I would say no. unless you have powerful anchors it might hold half that weight.

I have used two of these on a metal "A" frame roof with no problem. As I was 30 feet in the air, I did tie a rope (600#) capacity to the end of the ladder and secured it to a heavy object on the other side of the "A" Frame. Also used a safety Belt.

I think the lift itself would work for holding a rooftop cargo carrier. The straps may be too short to go around the carrier, but if they are, buy longer ones at a hardware store. Good luck!

not made for that purpose (not bolted to roof) wind would just lift it off even if tied down

Yes. Just make sure it is mounted/weighted down. Otherwise a strong wind will knock it all over.

I'm not sure, I guess it would not be as strong. You should ask the manufacturer to be sure.

I say it is strong enough. But, since you're a bit worried. You are better off reinforce it use some packaging tapes.

I believe so. this is hard to quantify but i think it would do the job. You're sure to have collisions of some sort eventually so i would consider some kind of back-up restraint so it doesn't fly off completely. Maybe string or zip-ties?

That would work fine. The fibers are a little rough but the more you use it the more supple it will become. We used it for a tree swing

It would have to be pretty strong! I had a friend build wooden stands for mine instead.
1600866
In my opinion, yes. It is definitely constructed more than strong enough for that purpose. :)

I would think that it would. When I attached mine, I used zip ties every foot or so. and attached it to the bottom as well, so the wind wouldn't blow it up. It's been up about a year now and is weathering nicely. You could probably put a zip tie into the grommet holes and then use a heavy duty staple gun and secure it that way. (I'm from Texas, I don't know what "can't" means, tee hee. Hope my suggestions help you.

I can't see any reason why is wouldn't. We added it to our slightly curved pergola roof, and its perfect, not too long, not too short. I'm very happy to have a little shade until I can get some climbing vines growing up the sides. If you live in a high wind area, be sure your pergola structure is well anchored, as this snap on cover will be like an umbrella and could easily take your pergola off the ground.

It is strong, but it's still aluminum, I suppose if you didn't use too much force. I think I'd just buy a boat hook.

It is really lite weight. I don't think it would do well in wind. Maybe if you tied it down.
